We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Al Khatim in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
